What joy it is for the believer to cry out to God for help when times of trouble draw near. There is NOWHERE SAFER than it he arms of the loving Savior who made us and redeemed us for a His glory.
In today's society we are plagued with an individualistic mind set. Rather than resting in the dependence we were create to have, we rest instead of our own wants and passions. This began in the garden with the first man and woman, and it continues today. The first rebellion against God is no differed from the rebellion we experience today. Just as Eve chose her own way over her Creator's , we choose autonomy over submission to a holy God. Yet he Pslamist in Psalm 71:1-13 reminds us that God is our rock, fortress, and hope. We were created to trust and seek Him above our own desires.
When troubles comes, to whom do you call out to? When your enemies are all around , to who do you run? Let us be a people who trade our independence for a relationship with our Creator who made us. Let us find strength in the Redeemer who rescued us from ourselves.
For it is WITH God all things are possible.
have a VERY BLESSED Tuesday.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You. Amen
